Frisco is the fastest-growing city in America. No, not THAT Frisco with the incessant fog and Golden Gate Bridge (not to mention, locals will scoff if you call it Frisco).

We’re talking Frisco, Texas. The Dallas suburb scored No. 1 on WalletHub’s list of fastest-growing cities in America due to its rapid job and population growth.

It has a number of other accolades to its name, including Men’s Journal’s No. 1 Best Place to Raise an Athletein 2011 and Movoto’s best midsize city to move to in 2013.
